Baltimore Orioles

The American League East race is tight between the Orioles and Yankees, with Baltimore currently trailing by 0.5 games. Despite New York being the favored team, the Orioles are not far behind in the division standings. Baltimore suffered a 4-3 defeat against the Mets on Monday, with the loss attributed to Seranthony Dominguez's walk-off home run in the 9th inning. Offensively, Ramon Urias had a strong performance, going 2-3 with a solo home run. Dean Kremer will start on Tuesday, looking to improve his 5-9 record and 4.48 ERA. Baltimore ranks 3rd in offense, 15th in defense, and has a 73-53 record for the season.

New York Mets Analysis

The New York Mets have recently shown improvement in the 2024 campaign, currently sitting at 65-60 and just 1.5 games behind Atlanta for the final wild card spot. Francisco Alvarez's walk-off home run on Monday helped secure a 4-3 victory, with J.D. Martinez also contributing a two-run homer. Pitcher Edwin Diaz earned the win in relief with a scoreless 9th inning. Jose Quintana will start the next game against Kremer, with a 6-8 record, a 4.26 ERA, and a 1.29 WHIP this season. The Mets rank 10th in offense with an average of 4.78 runs per game, 20th in defense giving up 4.55 runs per game, and have a power ranking of 14. The team recently faced Baltimore, winning 2 out of 3 matchups.

Orioles Favored in Upcoming Pitching Duel Against White Sox's Quintana

The upcoming game presents a competitive matchup between two starting pitchers who have posted similar statistics. Dean Kremer holds a 4.48 ERA and 1.28 WHIP, while Jose Quintana has a 4.26 ERA and 1.29 WHIP. Given the recent performance of both teams, I am inclined to support the Baltimore Orioles due to their stronger overall performance. An attractive aspect of this matchup is the Orioles' success against left-handed pitchers this season, ranking second in key offensive metrics such as wRC+ (120), wOBA (.335), and ISO (.190). As the league leaders in home runs with 193, Baltimore's offense poses a significant threat, particularly against Quintana, who has a high 1.40 HR/9 rate. Therefore, I recommend taking the Orioles on the money line in this game.
